I use GWT with Smart GWT (I think it was GWT EXT or something like that).
The Smart GWT guys sell their enterprisey stuff too but I have had little trouble using Google RPC solution with SmartGWT.
Recommend it.

I know that this particular article references php in the server. But if you are more accustomed to java then I have truly enjoyed GWT with SmartGWT.
The SmartGWT guys offer a paid version, but I just mashed together Google's RPC with SmartGWT's widgits. Check the showcase , if you are interested.

We walked a long way through second generation hardwoods and finally stood on the rim of a hole that has no equal in this area. As I grew up, I became more interested in The Crater, and would always tell friends about it. It is roughly 1,200 feet across and 120 feet deep, and has a strange vibe about it. When you walk up to it, you feel like something really big happened here. Either the mother of all caves is down there, or a large object smashed into this place a long, long time ago. I bought aerial photos when I was twelve and later sent images from GIS to a geologist at a local university. He pretty much laughed me out of his office, saying that it was a sinkhole. He did wish me luck, however. It may be sinkhole. Who knows? Last week I borrowed a metal detector and went poking around, and have found the strangest shrapnel pieces I have ever seen. They are composed of a metal that reacts strongly to acids. The largest piece so far reacted with tap water and dish-washing detergent. My second trip today yielded lots of strange new pieces of metal, and hopefully, one day the truth will be known. Backyard science is so much fun. And who knows; if it is indeed a cave, maybe Cerberus resides there."
